69 hemi road runner

**njsteve** · #1 08-08-2009, 09:30 PM

Need to see photos of the front mounting area of the rear leaf springs, underhood shot of the underside of the hood, the firewall, the engine mounting area of the K-member.

As I said earlier, the dash VIN is correct for a hemi car and the rivets look untouched so that is a good sign.

Time being on your side is always good. I hope that money is on your side too since this car will cost at least $100K to restore properly.

If I may be so bold, how much are you paying for the car?

You can PM me if you want. Happy to assist.

If you choose to get it I would be on the hunt for a solid donor car. You would be cheaper then buying after market sheet metal and could use a lot of misc. parts as well from what I can see.

Does the seller have the original engine and transmission? If not that needs to be considered as to the buy price. Does the seller have a broadcast sheet to the car? I did not see a picture of the fender tag or door sticker with VIN either. Does it have it?

As someone has mentioned be sure that you check the radiator support, back trunk lid on below the gasket, for the partial vin numbers.

I too am curious as to what he is asking, not interested myself but curious if you are getting a fair deal. I have restored mostly E bodies, Challengers, and Cudas, but have done B bodies, Chargers, and a Superbee. Never had a road runner though.

Folks, this is the BEST advice yet, and I wholeheartedly agree.

It kinda sucks to cut up a nice original car,but lets say you find a really clean, rust free, lil old lady Belvedere and you g=had to pay, like say, 15K you will be way ahead in the end. And it will make the car a reality without breaking the bank too much.

Let's hope a "rebody" doesn't cross your mind.

When a car is in this kind of shape and worth restoring it is the only way to go, trust me.

Hope some of my links gives you the idea I am talking about.
Let us know what happens.

So does it have the original motor??

Ontario cars are always that bad and they can be fixed. Get a nice south western car and use pieces of it to repair that body. Im preparing to restore a 69 HEMI RR this winter to ICCA spec. PM me if you need info or parts.
